Reviews: Shanghai Yu Garden + Shanghai City God Temple half-day tour: Traditional culture experience with optional Chinese tea tasting
Guest User2025-11-30
Teacher Mao was very professional. A native of Shanghai, she was extremely familiar with Yu Garden and provided a very detailed explanation throughout the tour. The process wasn't tiring at all. We heard many stories about the garden, some of which weren't even online but were only recorded in the county annals. It was very vivid and interesting. She even took us to the City God Temple before the tour ended. It was definitely worth the trip! Yu Garden truly needs a guided tour; otherwise, you simply won't understand it! This trip was very worthwhile!★

Reviews: The Real Shanghai: Classic Icons Meet Hidden Gems (Bund/Yu Garden/TianZiFang/French Quar.)
Guest User2025-08-08
I just want to say, wow! I spent a lot of time comparing the tours in Shanghai online. After a really long research this tour really stands out from the rest. As an experienced traveler, I always look for a true local experience. My guide Laura was super knowledgeable and showed me a lot of the places where I saw very few other tourists. The tour balanced it very well with must-see attractions like the Yu Garden. Although there were a lot of people in the garden, Laura still managed to let me learn something new. And my favorite part is the local market for lunch. Laura took me to a local market and I was in queue with locals for some really delicious local food. Highly recommend if you are looking for a cultural tour.★

Reviews: Shanghai Jewish Refugees Museum + Huoshan Park + Duolun Road Cultural Celebrities Street Half-Day Tour
Guest User2024-07-01
Our journey through Shanghai's Jewish Refugees Museum, Huoshan Park, and Duolun Road was a blend of past and present. The museum revealed a forgotten history, the park offered a respite from the city's hustle and bustle, and Duolun Road showcased the city's vibrant culture. Our English-speaking guide's explanations enhanced our appreciation for these places.★

Reviews: Shanghai Huangpu River night cruise ticket, including buffet dinner, with optional Dragon Boat or Crystal Princess departing from Shiliupu Pier 3
Guest User2025-08-26
Delicious food and the best view of the city you could wish for. I would recommend it to anyone who wants to see the entire panorama. The boat wasn't crowded, and you could reserve a seat on deck for the tour for a small surcharge. But the view is also fantastic otherwise.
